Structure discovered in Jerusalem’s City of David dates back to the First Temple, study finds

An ancient structure uncovered in Jerusalem’s City of David is believed to have been used for ritual practices during the First Temple period, according to a new study.

The structure, consisting of eight rooms, contains an altar, standing stone, oil press, and wine press, suggesting it was used for cultic or religious activities.

Dating back to the 8th century BCE, it may have ceased operation during King Hezekiah’s religious reforms.

The site, located near the Temple Mount, is one of the few of its kind found in Israel, Fox News has reported.
